Attached is (well, will be) a new ebuild for spread which: * includes an initscript * correctly creates the 'spread' user (in pkg_setup) * correctly creates /var/run/spread (in src_install) I'll also attach this as a diff against the existing ebuild.
Created attachment 96025 [details] new spread ebuild
Created attachment 96026 [details] files/spread.init.d
Created attachment 96027 [details, diff] patch from spread-3.17.3
sorry, it also: * removes the (I think?) useless dependency on libc
now in portage - thanks for the ebuild.
